Blocky71 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Someone's gonna be disappointed.... Shame the bidders can't be warned.... If this auction is kosher then I'll eat my own slack!. Fingers crossed no one gets their fingers burnt too badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this auction is kosher then I'll eat my own slack!. Fingers crossed no one gets their fingers burnt too badly. It is quite telling the seller has set up a new account and has no selling history or feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob58 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Saw them myself and while the 1st pictures are good the 2nd images show some very poor quality plants - dormancy or not. Also saw it's a new account with no feedback history. Returns not accepted - I wonder why!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Some people just grab a decent picture off Google images without thinking. It could be well be 100% genuine, but I wouldn't bother personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Star Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I find the terminology a bit suspect as well "Several leads on this large division". Does "leads" mean growth points ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Salter Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Has anyone even got the plant with that many grow points? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates666 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 The bidding does look a little ... Ahem ... fervent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Started listing 'rare' snowdrops now too, exactly same as last year but under a new guise...... I've messaged my concerns to them and eBay. Can't do much else sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMHoff Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Left to see is if Ebay takes your message seriously Blocky. Sadly they are very bad responding to scammers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Unfortunately there's nothing can be done at this stage. It will be up to the buyer to decide if they've been scammed and that's only going to be certain when the new pitchers grow and mature. Ebay foes have a " historic purchase" complaints procedure which should allow the seller to be reported once items have been proven fake. Problem is, how many more 'rare' plants will this seller have unloaded on unsuspecting buyers by this time?. The WWK went for £46 and the slack for £26.. Poor prices for the real deal but a nice amount for the 2 sickly plants on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynelVynel Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'd love a white Knight, but how beyond dodgy were these listings........... CRAZY FOOLS! Like said above by the time these plants are in full growth you have no chance of reversing your PayPal transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundog Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Yes i saw this you are all correct there is ebay protection but i dont know if this would last long enough to cover you when the pitchers are grown and the plant could be identified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Well there was no feedback for the Adrian Slack and a scathing one for the WWK, plant was never sent, there's a huge shock !. I guess at least the buyer will get his/ her money back at least. Better than being sent a sickly plant and having to nurture it just to find out months later you've been conned. I don't know how some people sleep....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
